Chippa United and Kruger United meet in South Africa's top league, with the hosts sitting 9th on 8 points from 7 matches, while the visitors are 13th with 4 points from 7 matches. The two teams' form is clearly different. Chippa United just won 1-0 in their last match and are unbeaten in 4 straight, but they have also drawn as many as 5 of 7 matches this season, scoring only 4 goals. Kruger United, meanwhile, just lost 0-1 and have lost 4 of their last 5, scoring just 3 goals but conceding 12 this season. In this game the hosts are likely to have more possession, because Kruger United play away by sitting deep and waiting to counter. But with Chippa United's finishing problems - only 2.2 shots on target per game in their last 10 - breaking down the visitors' tight defence will not be easy. As for Kruger United, although they concede a lot, they carry a counterattacking threat to watch, especially late in games, when they score as much as 30% of all their goals. If the hosts remain as stifled in front of goal as they have been, this game could end in a share of the points - a result the visitors would happily take, because simply avoiding defeat is enough for them.
